Comments

They are still hauling logs out of the blunts, so the roads remain plowed.

There is great coverage right from the truck, with 15-20 cm of fresh snow on a firm crust. Cut-blocked areas skied well, as the crust remained supportive. Alpine ridges were wind-affected, with some snow settlement under our weight.

Visibility was limited, keeping us just above the tree line and skiing southeast- and west-facing slopes, where we found excellent snow conditions.

No natural avalanches were observed.
